Who will win Champions League 2012?

As a die-hard Barcelona fan I have to root for them. But if I had to be a little realistic chances would be that some of the other teams have a strong chance to win this year, though Barcelona is favorites, right next to Real Madrid.
It is hard to say who are going to win, but easier to maybe tell who is going to get into the finals.
As for Real Madrid, they have a good chance to get to the next round, as they are meeting Apoel today. The champions from last year, Barcelona, have drawn a harder opponent as they are matched with Milan, which is going to be quite a contender for the cantalan team.
Bayern Munchen is matched up with the french team, Marseille. I think Bayern will overrule the french with their physical football and win that matchup.
And the last matchup which is with the only, amazingly enough, british team Chelsea and Benfica, who has been quite a surprise. This matchup is also one of the better ones, as physique and raw strength from Chelsea, is meeting elegance and passing skills from Benfica.

But if I had to guess the last two in this years Champions League, I would probably go with either Real Madrid vs Barcelona, the old clasico, or Real Madrid vs AC Milan, as Barcelona has struggled with the italian champions before.

Michael Schumachers future in Formula 1

As known, the 7 times world champion, Michael Schumacher after he came back to Formula 1 in 2010, he could not get the pole position at qualifyin and he could not fought for the world championship.
This year started good : the Mercedes made a fast car and at the qualification both in Australia and in Malaysia he got a below 5th place. But after two races he could get only one piont to himself and for the team. In Australia everything went fine, but after 11 laps the car got problems, so Michael needed to give up the race.
In Malaysia Michael got qualified to 3rd place but sunday right before the race started to rain, so in the first lap hegot hitted by Romain Grosjean, he had to continue the race 16th place. He was slow but still ended the race as 10th.

I hope, the Mercedes and Michael can show us something big at the next race in China.

Will Messi win the Ballon d'or in 2013?

Lionel Messi is just 24 years old and he is already a proven hall of famer. He claimed Ballon d'or 3 times in a row and he has a big chance to claim it again next year. Other great players could also get the golden ball, like Xavi Hernandes, Christiano Ronaldo or the rising star, Neymar. Xavi was close to get the Ballon d'or in 2012 and Messi also told the media: "Xavi is a great player and a great friend. He deserves the Ballon d'or as much as I do."Much respect from Messi's side.

Let's hope one of them will get the Ballon d'or next year.

The KONY 2012 campaign, a scam?

As the concept of the Kony 2012 being very good, the corporation behind it, Invisible Children, has been a bit anonym about where the money from their earnings had gone to.
Articles said that only 32% of the money Invisible Children earned went directly to aid their key issues.
There has also been a case where one the film makers of the Kony 2012 video, had been drunk and went around in the streets of Los Angeles naked, while masturbating on cars, pretty disturbing right?
But apart of all these cases the campaign is very positive, and even if the corporation running is legit or not the concept if very well thought out.
Krisztian and I have ordered some posters and we are going to contribute to event made by Invisible Children, called 'Cover the night' which involves people from all over the world to set up posters of the Kony 2012 campaign everywhere, to make Joseph Kony famous.
Even though we know that the Invisible Children corporation might be a little grey zoned, we think the cause is good, so we are going to join in to stop Kony!

The new iPad 3

Apple just launched a new iPad, to their collection. This new iPad has four times more pixels than iPad 2 and has Retina-display features 2048-by-1536. Much better than iPad 2, but are people going to buy this newly launched iPad, because of some screen upgrades?
There is not much difference between the new iPad and iPad 2, beside the screen upgrade.
Those who are likely to buy this new iPad are probably people who likes being up to date with hardware, because the iPad 2 will do fine, unless you like having the newest of the newest.

Thoughts on HTC One X

Is this new phone from the best selling phone company going to wipe out the iPhone?
The HTC One X has not come on the market yet, but it has some promising specifications, but as always it has the HTC look, which does not make it stand out from the other HTC phones.
Let us take a look at it:

As we can see it does not look very flashy or extraordinary on the outside.
The new thing we are excited about is the new Beats by Dre audio this phone is going to have, as HTC has undergone a partnership with Beats by Dre.
We're looking forward to trying to phone, as it sounds promising!

Brazilian talent to Barcelona? Yes please!

Is this just a rumor or have Neymar from Santos really signed on a contract to play in red and blue in 2014?
We really hope so, this little magician could really affect the Barca playstyle in a positive way. He could give some fresh powers to the already stunning playstyle that Barcelona holds.
We will wait for confirmation and cross our fingers.

Why is Barcelona so good?

No one can say that Barcelonas playstyle is not amazing. Even their opponents are mesmerized on how they move the ball and get their opportunities.

But how can they be that good, how can they outplay almost every team on the planet?
One thing is that they have one of the worlds most creative attackers, Lionel Messi, dribbling and make other players drool over his moves.
Let's see if they aren't going to win Champions League once again this year!
Go FC Barcelona!
